STRUCK THE LEAD.-We learn that Stiles, Tisdale & Company, have struck the lead in the north
extension of the Star Spangled Banner ledge. The ledge, or more properly the “stringer,” is about eighteen
inches wide, and has very much the appearance of the rock from the Banner mine. On the extension, the
shaft has been sunk to a depth of sixty feet.
SKATING.—For several days past, those who are fond of skating have had an excellent opportunity
of enjoying themselves on the reservoirs above town. Quite a number were out yesterday and the day
before. The ice was thicker than it was ever known before.
